Police fire rubber bullets, tear gas during Istanbul city hall protest

Turkish riot police fired rubber bullets and tear gas as demonstrators protested near Istanbul City Hall over the arrest of Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.

The incident occurred on the edge of the gathering with several police firing rubber bullets, said one correspondent who saw the weapons, heard them discharged and detected the distinctive smell of rubber. A second correspondent at the scene said police had “used rubber bullets and a lot of tear gas.”
